Fusion Boutique + Penney & Logan Present
PAUL McDERMOTT & GATESY GO SOLO
Live at the Blue Mountains Theatre Springwood

Announcement: In light of the current situation surrounding COVID-19, Blue Mountains Theatre at Springwood has had to cancel all programming until 31st July 2020.

While a reschedule of the concert would have been most ideal, the immediate future of live events and large gatherings is still uncertain and it has been decided that this show will need to be cancelled.
All ticket holders will have been contacted to arrange the refund of tickets already sold.
Hopefully we will be able to arrange another show further down the line.

Friday 8th May 2020, 8:00pm. Doors Open 7:40pm.

Venue: BLUE MOUNTAINS THEATRE & COMMUNITY HUB
104-108 Macquarie Road, Springwood NSW 2777

Paul-McDermott-and-Gatesy-Go-Solo-image300

Songs of beauty, songs of heartbreak, freshly-minted comedy concoctions, old squabbles and spontaneous nonsense.
Two of Australia’s most adored singer-songwriters lock harmonies and minds in one hilariously unmissable show.

Best known as the middle-men of two of Australia’s greatest musical-comedy trios, Paul McDermott (DAAS – Doug Anthony All Stars) and Stephen Gates (Tripod) have been friends for 18 years, and singing together in private for five years.
It’s time for them to share!

The poetry of their lyrics and the beauty of their voices have enthralled audiences, with demands for further shows coming from all corners of Australia.

Don’t miss the chance to see these two extraordinary talents, together, on stage. After their last SOLD OUT Blue Mountains performance in 2019 we advise booking early to avoid disappointment.

Best known as the middle-men of two of Australia’s greatest musical-comedy trios, McDermott and Gates made their official debut as a musical duo at a one-off event at the 2017 Ballarat Cabaret Festival. That one-off spawned a sequel with a sold-out show at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and then a sell out Melbourne Comedy Festival show.

BARRY MORGAN IS… SPACED OUT, Springwood, Blue Mountains, Fri 7th Oct 2016

BARRY MORGAN IS… SPACED OUT

Fri 7th October 2016 8pm

Barry Morgan is the ultimate home organ salesman and owner of the World Of Organs store situated in the beautiful Sunnyside Mall, Adelaide.
When he’s not busy giving the public the best organ deals in town, you can catch him performing live, sharing the ‘Joy Of The Organ’.

Barry wants to take audiences out of this world where no organ has gone before with his new offering. For Space Travellers and Organ Lovers alike, Barry will play all the great cosmic hits from Star Wars to Space Invaders and beyond! You will be dancing amongst the stars as you get Spaced Out with Barry Morgan!

Barry Morgan rose to fame after performing on ABC’s Spicks and Specks where he became an instant audience favourite. After his Spicks and Specks Finale appearance, Barry trended #2 on Twitter, as the Australian public’s love for this character grew. Barry’s gone on to grace our screens on numerous shows such as Gordon Street Tonight, The Marngrook Footy Show and ABC’s New Years Eve Pub Quiz; as well as becoming a favourite guest on radio.

Barry has sold out live shows Australia wide including Melbourne Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth Fringe, the famous Spiegeltent; and performed to adoring young crowds at Homebake and Falls Festival. Barry has even travelled his show overseas to the NZ Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe.

“Sheer Magnificence” ***** – Five AA
“Whatever the reason, DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!!” *****  – Johnathon Graham, FunnyTonne
‘The stuff cult figures are made of. Allow him to make your festival.’ ****  – The List, Edinburgh
“The show is a triumph of character comedy with a broad appeal. See it. Enjoy It. Buy an organ.” **** – Scotsgay, Edinburgh
“You’d have to have a heart of stone not to love a well-coiffed, safari-suited organist extraordinaire” **** – Megan Miller, Herald Sun, Melbourne
“With one hand on his organ and another on the pulse of his audience, cult hit Barry Morgan unleashed his 1981 Hammond Aurora Classic on an enthusiastic crowd.” ****
 – The Advertiser, Adelaide
“This is entertainment with a capital E. Who knows, Adelaide’s own Barry Morgan may yet become this city’s greatest icon. Bigger than Don Dunstan, bigger than Bung Fritz!” Indaily’s Blog – Fringe Reviews music, Peter C Pugsley

SOLD OUT – BARRY MORGAN’S WORLD OF ORGANS Home Organ Party Experience Tour – Concert + Dinner at Paragon Café, Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Sun 4th Oct 2015

***SOLD OUT***

Sun 4th October 2015
Strictly limited tickets!

Barry Morgan (As Seen on Spicks and Specks) in an intimate concert and dinner package at the iconic Paragon, Katoomba, Blue Mountains.

Barry Morgan puts the Boss in Bossa Nova, the Yes in Polyester, he’s the patron saint of the safari suit: he’s Barry Morgan, and is the celebrity organ salesman who is wooing audiences with the golden syrup sounds of his vintage 1980s, Hammond Aurora Classic.

Barry Morgan is packing up his Toyota Crown, strapping the Hammond Organ to the roof and hitting the road to fulfil his personal mission to not only share the ‘Joy Of The Organ’ but to educate.
Barry will entertain, amaze and thrill audiences as he demonstrates all there is to know about hosting your very own organ party.

The rich and rollicking musical sounds of the Hammond are projected from a classic veneer speaker cabinet and the impressive array of the organ’s keys, buttons and lights are caught on Barry’s cockpit cam and displayed on screen as he performs. Barry’s enthusiastic manner, contagious smile and musical skill all help convey his deep love of organs.
With enough cheese to match his infectious smile, the organ’s various sounds and features are exploited by Barry to achieve velvet tones, luscious lounge, exotic tangos, and grooves “as modern as tomorrow”. Barry’s hilarious performance creates an utterly charming visual and aural experience that cannot be resisted.

Performed by musician Stephen Teakle, Barry Morgan was plucked from obscurity to appear on ABC’s Spicks and Specks where he became an instant audience favourite. He was voted the third best Spicks and Specks moment in 2011 and trended #2 on Twitter after his Spicks and Specks Finale appearance. Barry has also graced our screens on Gordon Street Tonight, The Marngrook Footy Show and on ABC’s New Years Eve Pub Quiz.

Barry has sold out live shows at Melbourne Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth Fringe, the famous Spiegeltent; and performed to adoring young crowds at Homebake and Falls Festival. In 2012, Barry travelled overseas to demonstrate his organ at NZ Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe.

A career highlight to date was touring with international superstar Gotye, and Barry also showed through the release of his own album “The Touch of You” (2012) that he is not just one of Australia’s most entertaining performers, but one of its most accomplished musicians.

Barry will be demonstrating his famous One Finger Method where you can experience the safest way to get the most out of an organ with just one finger!

Barry always likes to dress to impress so come along music lovers, don your best safari suit or evening gown, bring your friends and get down with Barry Morgan and his ultimate Home Organ Party Experience!

Don’t miss out on tickets to the Barry Morgan’s World of Organ’s Home Organ Party Tour – get in quick or miss out.

SOLD OUT – MARGRET ROADKNIGHT in Acoustic Concert at Hotel Blue, Upstairs “Live At The Attic” Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Thur 24th Sept 2015

MARGRET ROADKNIGHT in Acoustic Concert

Hotel Blue, Upstairs “Live At The Attic” Katoomba, Blue Mountains

Thursday 24th September 2015, 6:30pm. Doors Open 6pm.

Margret RoadKnight is Australia’s finest interpretive singer.

A unique and passionate artist, renowned for her powerful vocals and wide-ranging roots-based repertoire with lyrics full of wit and wisdom, Margret RoadKnight survives and thrives outside the mainstream music scene with flair and soul.

Five decades into her career, she continues to tour extensively, singing riveting if under-exposed songs, either a-cappella or with her guitar and African thumb piano, solo or with accompanying musicians, always interspersed with informative and amusing anecdotes (and yes, she still reprises her fondly remembered mid-’70s Australiana hit “Girls In Our Town”).

Margret has recorded ten solo albums and been featured on thirty one others.
She has sung blues, jazz, gospel, folk, comedy, and social commentary songs in concert halls and cathedrals, clubs and campuses, from Broome to Hobart, Beijing to Memphis, Paris to Auckland, Edinburgh to Tel Aviv, New York to Seoul, Amsterdam to Dublin, New Orleans to London, Vancouver to Nuku’alofa.

May 12th, 2013 marked the commencement of Margret RoadKnight’s Golden Jubilee (celebrating 50 years of professional performance) and concluded in April 2014 with her Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Folk Festival.

“…as much as for her impressive voice and choice of songs, RoadKnight is delightful because she sheds so much fresh light on the nature of the world and its people”Oakland Tribune, San Francisco

“Margret RoadKnight’s success depends on the original way she presents other people’s material. She is alive, warm, charming, extremely funny and a stunning musician”Melbourne Voice

“…virtually a walking, talking, singing folk festival in her own right – 6ft 4ins of musical history with a South Pacific flavor”Globe and Mail Canada

“…magnetic and powerful”Financial Times London

“…a magnificent voice and a vast, and often funny, repertoire”National Times

“…RoadKnight’s driving, pounding, powerful alto burns smoulderingly”The Australian

“…RoadKnight’s enduring presence on the folk scene is the result of a truly remarkable voice combined with the most mature and sophisticated sense of humour in the business… a unique Australian talent”Sydney Morning Herald

“…a vastly underestimated and too seldom seen singer… after all these years she still has the power to knock you back in your seat”Rhythms

MIC CONWAY & ROBBIE LONG in Concert + Dinner at Paragon Café, Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Fri 7th Aug 2015

MIC CONWAY & ROBBIE LONG in concert at the iconic Paragon.
(CONCERT + 3 COURSE GOURMET DINNER + A GLASS OF MULLED WINE + TEA/COFFEE, BISCOTTI & CHOCOLATES!)

Fri 7th August 2015
Strictly limited tickets!

Mic Conway & Robbie Long in an intimate performance of music, magic and more!

In a circus of comedy, music and magic, Mic Conway and flat-picking guitar champion Robbie Long present a hilarious array of idiosyncratic songs that will make your jaw drop, toes tap and sides split.

ARIA award-winning Mic Conway is a singer, actor, musician, song writer, fire eater, magician, tap dancer, juggler and more. Audiences who know Mic from his days with “Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band” and Circus Oz will be delighted by this incarnation: Mic as storyteller of tall tales and true. There are new songs and some oldies close to Conway’s heart. He croons “It’s Only a Paper Moon” and a heart-breaking version of “Mad World”, dispenses good advice in “Never Bite a Married Woman on the Thigh” and revisits Captain Matchbox classic “My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes” and Tom Lehrer’s “Masochism Tango”.

There’s magic, juggling, cavorting and that trademark tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. Stripped back, irreverent, and shameless… it’s surreal vaudeville for crooning and swooning.
